DEVTREE

A social media platform for developers by developers

Getting Started

To get this project working on your system, a couple of things are needed:

• npm install - to get all the dependencies
• get a mongo cluster and put these information in a .env file

MONGOURI="your_mongo_uri_link"
JWT_SECRET="a_jwt_secret_code"
GITHUB_TOKEN="a_github_token_for_connecting_to_the_api"

• install dependencies

npm install

• install client folder dependencies

cd client
npm install

• Run express and react

npm run dev

• build for production

cd client
npm run build

• test prod test build before you deploy

NODE_ENV=production node server.js

Deploy with Heroku

if you followed the above instructions of putting your important info in a .env file, then heroku will ommit this file along with your info but Heroku will need these files for succesful deployment. I suggest you do:

• create a local branch, ---name prod

git checkout b prod

• add the .env file

git add -f .env/prod.json

• DO NOT PUSH THE PROD BRANCH TO GITHUB

commit it

git commit -m 'ready to deploy'

• create your heroku project

heroku create

• push the branch to heroku ###NOT GITHUB

git push heroku prod:master

Now heroku has what it needs
